    No need for a separate power source—these counters are powered by internal batteries that last more than seven years. Often used in areas where power isn’t easy to access, they work well inside machinery or remote monitoring systems. Wire them to a relay, sensor, switch, or other trigger device on the machine performing repeated tasks. The counter receives a signal from the trigger device to track how many times the task has occurred and shows that number on the display.
    All can be connected to a separate input, button, or switch to reset the counter to zero directly or at a distance.
    Manual Reset Button—Those with a manual reset button can be set to zero with a simple push.
    NEMA 4 Enclosure Rating—NEMA 4 rated counters are protected from dust and washdowns. They’re also safe to use outdoors.

    Mechanical Position Indicators

    Tracking your machine component as it moves along a rotating threaded shaft, such as a spindle or lead screw, these indicators help you adjust machinery with speed and precision. They save time and prevent errors on process lines that you constantly adapt to suit different products, such as packaging lines.
    Use the display number as either a reference point or as a true measure of distance. To measure distance, match the indicator’s count per revolution to your lead screw’s threads per inch or thread pitch.
    Choose between indicators that count up when your lead screw rotates clockwise or counterclockwise.

    Indicator Display

    More customizable than standard indicators, these digital indicators have programmable features that help you adapt them to your application. Like other indicators, they track your machine component as it moves along a rotating spindle, lead screw, or other threaded shaft, which helps you adjust machinery with speed and precision. This saves time and prevents errors on process lines that you constantly adapt for different products, such as packaging lines.
    Program the number you want added per revolution—you can use these indicators as a reference point or as a true measure of distance. To measure distance, match the indicator’s count per revolution to your lead screw’s threads per inch or thread pitch. You can adjust them to count from their original position or from their most recent stopping point, which is useful for repeating moves. They also have settings to work with clockwise and counterclockwise rotation, as well as vertical and horizontal shafts.
    Rated IP67, all are sealed against dust and water, even if briefly submerged. They meet IEC 61326-1, which is an international standard for electromagnetic immunity and emissions.
